It's a long sad story, but the bottom line is I picked up some putrefied canned dog food that poured it's rotten liquid all down the front of me from my chest to my feet! I understand food goes bad or gets damaged in shipment, but the worst part of my experience was that the 2 employees standing 10 feet away from me barely acknowledged my existence, much less my dire predicament. I called out to them several times for assistance, but they just looked at me and went back to chatting. Finally my 85-yr old mother, who was quite stressed about the situation, yelled at them to please help us! I don't know if they finally just finished their conversation or the vile stench got to them, but they still said nothing to me. They did call a man in a vest over to cleanup the foul puddle on the floor, though. At no point in time did any of them ask if I was OK or if I needed anything, nor did anyone say they were sorry that such a horrible thing happened to me - and I smelled like a dead moose! They were much more worried about getting the floor cleaned up, but not about getting me cleaned up. I tried to clean my hands and shirt with a wet wipe I found in my purse, but it didn't help at all. I made my way to the bathroom and saturated my shirt with water, but still to no avail. The disgusting substance that was all over me was apparently somewhat oily so I was stuck with it (as was anyone near me) - and we still had a couple of hours of errands to attend to before we could get home! (my mom lives out in the country a bit) I asked our cashier at checkout if we could speak to a manager, but was told she was unavailable. Another young lady came to talk to me, and she listened to my sad tale, but only said she would let the manager know. Still no apology or concern, and she didn't go to the contaminated area to check it out, although I'm sure that entire side of the store reaked. I called the store several times after we got home later that afternoon, but was just kept on endless hold. People did keep picking up and asking who I was holding for, but I was never able to actually speak to anyone. I was mostly concerned at that point on getting myself and my clothes decontaminated & disinfected! I also emailed the corporate office that evening, but it has been 5 days and still no response. I did get someone who seemed a bit concerned about my experience via a Facebook private message, but never knew where or who they were. They gave me a 1-800 number to call if I wanted to file a claim, but I don't really know what to claim since I wasn't exactly 'injured.' I did have to scrub my hands & fingernails in Pine-Sol & bleach to remove the smell so did lose a little skin, but needs must. I soaked my clothes (shirts, pants, bra & underwear) in Odo-Ban (also my flip flops) then washed them several times so think I may have salvaged them, although will probably still be leery about ever wearing them again. The stench that was on me for hours made me severely nauseous and probably affected everyone that encountered me that way! It was a horrifying experience. I live in OKC and have never encountered such a problem at my local store, but will be unlikely to darken the door of that Sam's in Memphis ever again. I have never been to Costco (we don't have in OKC yet), but I think I am ready to check it out on my next visit to Memphis! read more
